The receiver maybe old & may have out done some of the others, but this is surly the way it should be when spending £300+ on a receiver.
As for the VU+ Duo's red light issue, & the Duo2 with white light issue, that imo shows the standards of that company. p1$$ poor.

Moving on... what is currently the most popular dual tuner receiver everyone is raving about, which would be considered an upgrade ?
